i still dont understand how you can produce a thesis from the answers and can you go over method statement again please

can the question we ask be very vague, but get more detailed once were answering it?

Ms. Shea said...

Your method statement consists of the three points you choose - those are the three pieces of evidence you support your thesis with.


Your question can be as vague as you want, as long as your thesis is very specific.

Think of the question you ask like the essay prompt.
